Atlantic Beach, N.C. - Out-of-towners and local fine food and wine aficionados alike can experience North Carolina’s most celebrated guest chefs at the 2010 Culinary Series hosted by the Sheraton Atlantic Beach.

Dessert is an Almond Cake made with brandied figs and espresso zabaglione.
Saturday evening begins with a reception, followed by a three course dining experience accompanied by the perfect Italian wine pairing.
